I am using an old machine which is pretty long in the tooth. It has a 6700k + 1070 SC + 16 GB 3400 ram. Furthermore, I play at 1440p, but Tomb Raider is struggling at that resolution. I am wondering what I could upgrade to for 1000.

[@gruiadevil]

@@RXC13 For 800$ you can get a 5700X + RX 6800 and keep the RAM. If you have a 650W PSU it should be enough. It's going to get 60+ FPS in Ultra QHD, Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

[@dianaalyssa8726]

Still rocking $200 CPU (2020 Shadowlands prepatch build): 9600k, 3060, 32gb ram, 1050w. I've thought about upgrading but it's okay 1440p downscaled WoW, casual games Diablo 4 server slammed like a champ 1440p though. WoW is the one this year people are upgrading past few months without FSR there has been a Dragonflight performance hit, With FSR raids are playable on low as evoker heals. Maybe the 7800X3D or something lower priced. I thought about doing the GPU also. It's in the okay for now, Will play Diablo 4 fine category. I think the only settings I touched for D4 were shadows and lighting, it honestly was a great server slam experience performance wise. IDK. 7600/X also looks okay if I move to a new platform soon but would be a 6 cores to 6 cores with better IPC move. It's okay but not amazing holding out with what I have until I decide to upgrade.

It is interesting in the first build you said M.2 drives are maybe a dollar or two more, in the browsing I've been doing recently it actually seems like there are better deals on the M.2 drives than the SATA ones. It seems like there's a ton of supply so especially the PCIe 3.0 drives are competing for lower and lower prices these days. EDIT: Something to keep in mind, a lot of the case market can feel cheap right now but when I was shopping for cases I was really trying to find a good deal on one with a USB-C on the front IO. The case you included in collegedude's does have a usb-c module you can add on separately but for people who are looking for that feature, cases do tend to be more expensive right now

[@xxxxtripxxxxOSG]

It is really a shame how hard it is to find cases that have USB-C in the front I/O considering it has been mainstream for a number of years now. Same with many motherboards not having USB-C or even a front panel connector for it.

[@OcDmn]

hope the USB C front will trickle down to under 50 MATX cases. heck in that price range there's still single USB3 lol

[@Mark3h]

Hey Jason. Have you considered doing an updated prebuild recommendation list for those who arent confident enough or have the free time to build? While looking at pc builders here in the UK, the different branded parts each company uses makes the price flutuate wildly. Many of which not disclosing the make or model of the gpu selected.

5:52 That Gigabyte Eagle RX 6600 is down to $180 now on Newegg with a $20 promo code. Not sure if it has sold out yet by the time people read this but it seems like the A750's price coming down to $200 also pushed the 6600 down. The Eagle is the only model at $180 so far but now it's even better value for budget builders. That $20 saved can go a long way with low budget builds.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Nice!

[@CrumblingLeech]

I've had clearance issues with RGB ram kit against an AIO for the Fractal Pop Mini Air, they are too high for the rad to fit in. Hope this won't happen with the 2nd build!

[@hololololololololololololololo]

i'm contemplating the exact same build you showed in the end. 5600 with 6950xt. I was wondering if I should go with 7600x since i kind of feel like the cpu might be the bottleneck when I play games in 1440p. 7600 also has future upgradability. really big dilemma as the 7600 cpu+mb+ram is around 100 dollars more expensive

[@hololololololololololololololo]

i just plan to play aaa games

[@PCBuilderChannel]

If you have the budget for it, it would be nice to go up to 7600 for the AM5 platform. But 5600 6950XT is a good combo as well, and you can always upgrade that to 5800X3D in the future

[@Karldin83]

7600 would probably be nice, but I doubt the 5600 will be much of a bottleneck when my 5800x doesn't bottleneck the 7900xtx. Was a little worried, but should be fine

[@Pand0rasAct0r_]

the 3800xt i have bottlenecks my 6950xt slightly. not big but not less. any ryzen 5000 cpu mitigates that easily. however i think an 8 core cpu like the 5700 is a much better pick. however your better off going for the 5800x3d than the 7600 as the 5800x3d is very competitive compared to the 7000 series and 13000 series

[@cosmic_cupcake]

That 750w PSU seems awfully tight for an RX 6950, considering transient loads. AMD specs 850w as the minimum, And I'd honestly just invest a few extra bucks into a higher wattage unit.

I'm so glad that y'all are growing, it's so important to grow the reach of people that are doing what they do purely to help others. Flawless quality again, only thing I'd say is that I'm currently not advising clients to build on AM5, simply based on the switch to LGA sockets, leaving aside the SOC burns, there are just too many bugs. Though, I will also say that a 7700x is currently the best choice if you're going to build an AM5 platform, given the aforementioned SOC problems, and bugs with the x3D chips.

[@stratuvarious8547]

SATA drives are fine, AFTER you've filled up your m.2 slots and run out of PCIe slots for a PCIe to m.2 adapter card. Sometimes, you just need more storage than you can reasonably get from your allocated motherboard slots.

Interested in the 5500 here over the 3600? The 3600 is PCIE 4.0 whereas the 5500 is 3.0. I just bought a 3600 over a 5600 here in Australia because the extra $70 AUD difference would only provide marginal improvement and would pay for a 16gb RAM kit.

[@rogued3mon414]

It makes a difference in terms of price to cooling. If they are priced the same, take the asrock one because it has better cooling. Performancewise, it's the same.

[@ardeof]

I think you're underestimating how much RAM future games are going to suck up. That being said, most of the folk in the boost my build were requesting specific games so it's passable to recommend 16GB of RAM. As an example though, Diablo IV was using around 21Gb of RAM with 4k ultra settings. It would blow the poor 16Gb out of the water, fortunately I have 32Gb so I didn't have to worry.

[@tadjohnson7615]

Somewhere here on KZbin is a video of how to optimize your PC for MSFS 2020. It definitely shows that L3 cache is very important for MSFS performance. The $2000 build that starts at 9:32 wants to prioritize MSFS. Wouldn't one of the AMD X3D processors with their big L3 cache be a better choice?

12GB of VRAM is just fine ''for now''. Unless you want to play some certain games at 4K Ultra with RT on. But if you can buy a card that has more then it mite be better in the long run. I think that Nvidia and AMD are going to have to start bumping up the VRAM on their cards in the near future.

This budget also includes extras like a mouse, keyboard, monitor, and headphones. Reason for productivity is mainly rendering and animation using programs like blender and unreal engine.

[@rogued3mon414]

Hello there. I've seen the list and YOU can do better than that. I kept your CPU and aio but I would go for the NZXT N7 Z790 for the motherboard. I would not go ROG as they face issues with their motherboards. For the RAM, why not go 4x16? I would recommend going for GSKILL TRIDENT Z5 RGB 6000 CL32 2x16 in 2 packs of it. Both packs priced the same as your corsair 2x32. For the storage, why not use an NVME for your project storage? I would recommend the TEAM TFORCE A440 pro as it's as strong as the 980 pro. For the GPU, I would recommend going for the 4090 aorus master as GIGABYTE makes good 40 series and that costs way less and it even has an LCD screen. FOr the case, I would just go LIAN LI LANCOOL 216 or the LANCOOL 3. It's got adequate airflow and you don't need extra fans. For the psu, I would go more than 1000w like the thermaltake toughpower GF3 1350w. That ensures your power supply lasts longer. For the monitor, I think you nees a 4k monitor like the ROG Strix XG32UQ. It's a 160hz IPS 4k monitor. Rest of the parts is up to you as I don't know your preference for peripherals and there's like a million to choose from.

[@snapcount321]

I got an oddly specific request from a friend - they wanted a general purpose computing PC with as few parts as possible that they could use "to drive my 4k 120 TV and soundbar, play UHD Blu Ray, sync with iTunes, back up photos to a hard drive and touch them up and the cloud, emulate Gamecube and PS2 at 4k and run Microsoft office". I was going to suggest a i3 12100F or 13100F paired with a large quiet aftermarket cooler, 16 gigs of DDR4 and a B610 and an HDMI 2.1 capable sub $200 Arc A750 or RX6600 with most of the build budget going towards memory and an optical drive with the added bonus of playing RE remasters and Street Fighter 5 and 6. Now I hear you can do all that with an AMD APU on a A620 platform with no GPU - true?

At the beginning of this year I've decided to better cable manage my 13 year old computer (Dell Precision T3500) while doing some maintanance and upgrades. I've had 2 SATA SSDs and 2 3.5 HDDs in it. I've bought some brand new SSD cables long enough to go behind the motherboard. Then I've plugged everything back together and it worked... for a week. Then my 1TB hard drive stopped working. I've unplugged it, plugged it back, it started working again. So I decided it is high time to replace it with SSD. I've plugged the new drive, and 2 days later my other hard drive stopped working. That is when I realised, that I've plugged it with the same (brand new!) SATA cable I've previously used for the hard drive I've replaced. And of course, the guilty party was the goddamn 80 cent SATA cable. The plus side of the situation - I've got an SSD instead of HDD. The negative - my new build (which I just completed) now has 3 SATA SSDs and 1 M2 NVMEs instead of 2 of each.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Frustrating! Thanks for sharing

[@radekwroblewski6641]

The most frustrating thing was that this Dell case doesn't have a removable back pannel. So in order to replace such a cable you need to take out the motherboard.

[@ErrantJourney]

I may be somewhat ignorant with using PartPicker, but I've always noticed when you look at a submission sent to you, the compatibility bar on top of the part picker list is always green (when the list is from the viewer). But every time you boost someone's build, the bar turns to red (your list) which indicates a problem. How does this work?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

You're probably talking about the bios warning that comes with all AMD builds (wish they wouldn't do that lol). All AMD builds on PC Part Picker will have that red bar warning you to pay attention to your bios, whether your choices are right or not. So if I switch someone from an Intel to a AMD build you'll see that. But you'll notice builder lists with AMD have the same red bar

Hello Jason! I would be so happy if you see my comment and answer my question! I'm confused and I want to buy the right gpu. I want to get a gpu for 1440 gaming, but I also do some after effects and I'm trying to learn blender. I found RX 6700 XT and a 3060 Ti both at the same price range, however the 3060 Ti is 25 euros more expensive. I am heavily inclined towards RX 6700 XT for the 12GB Vram it has, because having 50% more Vram feels safer in the future, because I saw many games using 5 or 6GB of Vram at least. But I'm also a bit inclined towards 3060ti because everyone is saying that the RX 6700 XT is garbage for after effects, premiere, and also blender. Is the difference in performance and productivity that huge that it deserves to sacrifice the RX 6700 XT and 12GB Vram for the 3060ti with its 8GB of Vram? I also want to know which card holds the better reputation and value and future proofing in your opinion? Thank you so much!

[@kelley09162]

What does the A770 Cost where you are because it would be better vs the 6700 XT for blender and better vs the 3060 Ti for gaming?

Hey Jason! i was wondering if you could tell me what should i update in my setup i currently have Ryzen 5 3600 16 gigs 3200 mghz RX6600XT OC 700W 80+ standard MBO Gigabyte A520M S2H (i was thinking it will be the cpu probably but idk . I’ll leave it to the specialist)

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Yep I'd pop in a 5600, then when you are able you can upgrade the GPU all the way up to a 7900XT or 4070ti. See our "how to upgrade your pc" video for more (:

[@ryszardmaciek4240]

Something to keep in mind for second build : strategy games like civ or C:S tend to demand a lot of CPU power, while being bad at multithreading, which is why i would go for Intel. As far as i know they're still unmatched in single core performance.

[@ryszardmaciek4240]

Alright i checked and that ryzen indeed has better single core performance

Ryzen is pretty darn strong these days (;

[@MatTrick41]

Saw the Ryzen 5600 hit $99 on Amazon today, the past few days have been crazy in the first half of the day with the 5600 and 5700x which has been as low as $130 unless I missed it going even lower. Super crazy

[@anan7s294]

Unfortunately here in India, GPU prices are still high. The best price I could find for 1660 super was ₹17,500(~$210) and for 6600 was ₹22,500(~$280). I’m looking for a GPU that can play games @1080, stream it and edit them for YT videos. I was looking @ 1650 super for ₹13,800(~$170) then moved up to 1660S after looking at its performance. 6500 was a good option but it cannot edit videos.

[@anan7s294]

Not sure how would Intel Arc A380 pair with 5600? Any suggestions?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

I'd go for the 6600 if you can, or if you can push up a bit 6600XT is actually pretty solid for editing. Our assistant editor on the channel has that card and it works well

[@NGreedia]

Even though my 3060 is over 2 years old and not a good price, the performance uplift with the "new" entry and mid tier gpus are so lackluster, I may never upgrade again, or wait as long as I did from my gtx 770 before upgrading.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Depending on your CPU, you would see a pretty big jump if you can get to a 7800XT or 7900XTX for example. See our "how to upgrade your pc" for more on this

[@NGreedia]

@@PCBuilderChannel for sure. I just was hoping that prices would drop enough as I don’t want to spend more than $400 and waiting for 6950xt level of performance to be available around that price point

[@iGhoSt121]

Probably gonna do something very similar to the last build for the same price without a monitor though… what would you recommend I spend that extra $300 towards? Stronger CPU? GPU?

[@rogued3mon414]

To me, get a better board like the aorus pro or the tomahawk wifi. Then a better 7900xtx (hellhound is a low rated GPU since it has cut down materials). For the CPU, a 7800x3D or a 7900x. Then a case and SSD of your choice.

7600s are dropping at my local MicroCenter for $269. I’m sure it’ll be different depending on where you live, but that’s probably the ballpark price.

[@j.p.h.8126]

I wonder if the chunky 7900XTX is going to choke for air being so close to the PSU shround in the mATX case? Since that is 3 slots + some GPU and the PSU shround in the Fractal case is not very well perferated. Not alot of room for the AIR to flow maybe.

[@gerz1987]

Currently running a Ryzen 5600 with a RX6600 on a MSI B450 Pro vdh max board. Will the ASRock B550M Pro4 be much of an upgrade?

No, if you are looking for performance increases thing about upgrading your GPU. The 5600 can pair all the way up to a 7900XT.

For the power supply, I would get something with the 5.0 cable like the montech titan gold or the thermaltake GF3. And for the SSD, I would get a 2tb like the TEAM TFORCE CARDEA A440 pro.

You can go either with the rx 6900 xt or rx 6950 xt. Both are less than $700.

[@kelley09162]

The 6900 XT is a good choice, but moving to that will also require an 850W PSU. Looking at 6900 XTs and 850w PSUs, you can currently get the XFX 6900 XT for $620 and an Enermax Revolution D.F. 2 for $110 for a total of $730. Just note I have seen XFX 6900 XT model as low as $580 so maybe wait a little bit just in case it goes back down in price.

Just watching the 2nd build, why $118 for an OS? It really annoys me that OEMs buy their license keys for dirt cheap, yet individual builders get hit with these insane prices...I know about discounts for bulk orders, but it's all digital, it doesn't cost MS anymore to sell keys individually. My Windows 10 key cost me $5, it's probably a left over OEM key from a developing country or something, but I don't feel bad for using it as I've been ripped off enough from MS over the years.
